Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Blue Talapia and chara

Mike, all the predatory fish eat the offspring. The Tilapia grow so fast every size class in the pond will snack throughout the year on tilapia...removing pressure from the "normal" prey fish allowing them to increase in size and numbers as well as the predators...this is what is meant when tilapia eat otherwise "wasted" pond nutrients (plants and detritus) and move it up into the food chain....It's been said many times, A tilapia's death is it's pond magic!
